Understanding carrier relaxation in lead halide perovskites at the nanoscale is critical for advancing their device physics. Here, we directly image carrier cooling in polycrystalline CH3NH3PbI3 films with nanometer spatial resolution. We observe that upon photon absorption, highly energetic carriers rapidly thermalize with the lattice at different rates across the film. The initial carrier temperatures vary by many multiples of the lattice temperature across hundreds of nanometers, a factor that cannot be accounted for by excess photon energy above the bandgap alone or in variations of the initial carrier density. Electron microscopy suggests that morphology plays a critical role in determining the initial carrier temperature and that carriers in small crystal domains decay slower than those in large crystal domains. Our results demonstrate that local disorder dominates the observed carrier behavior, highlighting the importance of making local rather than averaged measurements in these materials.

We recently generalized the formerly alignment-dependent multivariate image analysis applied to quantitative structure–activity relationships (MIA-QSAR) method through the application of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), allowing for its application to noncongruent and structurally dive ... more
Proteomic Analysis of the Downstream Signaling Network of PARP1
Poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) is a protein posttranslational modification (PTM) that is critically involved in many biological processes that are linked to cell stress responses. It is catalyzed by a class of enzymes known as poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs). In particular, PARP1 is ... more
Oxygen Activation and Energy Conservation by Cytochrome c Oxidase
This review focuses on the type A cytochrome c oxidases (CcO), which are found in all mitochondria and also in several aerobic bacteria. CcO catalyzes the respiratory reduction of dioxygen (O2) to water by an intriguing mechanism, the details of which are fairly well understood today as a r ... more
